Mission
Through Strategic Partnerships and Alliances, The College Music Society establishes relationships with stakeholder organizations and groups with common goals.
CMS Summits
The Committee on Strategic Partnerships and Alliances sponsors CMS Summits, forums through which the Society may place before the music and higher education community issues of emerging and critical importance. Summits enable the Society to (1) focus intently on a topic of present or emerging importance to the music field and (2) develop action plans for addressing important concerns.
